Chapter Summaries

Venda Rosier gave the group communication Pendants before they set out for Paris. In Calais, Vizet and Luna transformed Jupiter into a powerful Thunderbird and used magic to conceal their flight from the Isaiah Society as they headed across the English Channel.

• Venda Rosier distributed Pendants and explained how they could be used to communicate over short or long distances.
• Harry tested his Pendant with Ron, while Fred and George joked around and considered making a similar Magical Artifact.

Charlotte Bonacourt and the French Ministry of Magic followed a golden Thunderbird as it gathered and guided rain clouds toward the Paris Region. Meanwhile, the Isaiah Society watched the plan’s participants through mirrors as Morgan le Fay and Circe argued over when the operation would begin.

• At dawn, a golden Thunderbird appeared, and Charlotte Bonacourt ordered the French Ministry of Magic employees to follow it.
• The Thunderbird climbed into the sky and gathered dark rain clouds with its wings.
• Charlotte Bonacourt and the employees cast Weather Charms and followed the Thunderbird as it guided the clouds toward the Paris Region.

• Gregory the Smarmy arrived and reported that Venda Rosier had found the group and that the others with her had been captured.
• Gregory told Morgan le Fay that fewer than twenty Guardians were riding Flying Broomsticks to cast Weather Charms, prompting Morgan to argue with the Isaiah Society members over her plan and their contributions.

• Carcas foresaw three teams totaling more than fifty people moving through the wilderness and warned that the coming rain would be heavy.
• Morgan le Fay dismissed the threat and, after Herpo said the conference was still set for nine o’clock, Carcas described a familiar tower in the distance.

Dumbledore and Minister Bonaparte warned President Jacques that terrorists had planted magical time bombs on Paris students and that wizards were drawing rain clouds to stop them. As they tried to prove the danger, the Meteorological Bureau reported the strange clouds, and a lightning strike over the Élysée Palace convinced Jacques that their claims were largely true.

• President Jacques met Minister Bonaparte and Dumbledore, who explained the terrorists’ ritual magic and the plan to locate and dismantle the time bombs.
• Dumbledore asked Minister Bonaparte to show Jacques the materials Charlotte had provided.
• The Secretary General of the Presidential Palace delivered an urgent Meteorological Bureau report about a fast-moving, unusual cloud layer.
• Dark clouds gathered over the Élysée Palace, and Dumbledore identified them as the result of the wizards’ Weather Charm.

Vizet and Serena Pendragon coordinated a storm-powered ritual across Paris to strip Dark Magic creatures from their hosts, leaving the city reeling as the creatures rose into the sky. At Champ de Mars Park, a massive shadow appeared in the rain, confirming Serena Pendragon’s suspicion that the Isaiah Society had intervened.

• Charlotte Bonacourt led the French Ministry of Magic employees away from the approaching lightning as their Thunderbirds entered the rain clouds.
• Serena Pendragon ordered the Ritual Magic Array activated, and the storm’s lightning engulfed Paris as the ritual began.
• Across the Paris Region, Dark Magic creatures emerged from people, including Serena, and passed through ceilings into the sky.
• Vizet and Luna arrived at Champ de Mars Park, where Serena Pendragon and her team watched the stripped-away creatures rise.
• A vast shadow wrapped in withered vines appeared in the rain, and Serena Pendragon told Vizet that the Isaiah Society had acted.

Serena Pendragon and her companions identified six dark magic creatures as manifestations of a shared source and named them “Bloody Mary.” As they searched for a way to stop the creatures, they learned Bloody Mary was devouring the dark magic creatures they were stripping away, and Anne Salru reported that it had consumed one from a shattered container.

• Vizet and Luna used Patronus Charms to drive off a dark magic creature while Serena warned the Isaiah Society to prepare for attacks.
• Sebastian Sallow, Venda Rosier, and others reported sightings of six large dark magic creatures across the Paris Region, which Vizet recorded and mapped.
• Vizet connected the creatures’ appearances to accounts of the Bloody Countess, and Serena named them “Bloody Mary” and asked her companions to report anything unusual.
• A companion reported that Bloody Mary had tried to devour a dark magic creature being stripped away, but a Corporeal Patronus drove it off temporarily.
• Vizet discovered that the ritual’s stripping progress had stalled because Bloody Mary was competing to consume the same dark magic creatures.
• Anne Salru reported that her Dark Magic Creature Container had shattered while she and Dean pursued Bloody Mary, allowing it to devour the creature inside.

Vizet and Serena Pendragon realized the Isaiah Society had made the two Bloody Marys stronger by letting them merge and devour Dark Magic creatures, threatening the Ritual Magic Arrays. Vizet went to help Anne Salru pursue them while Serena and Luna worked to reinforce the arrays.

• Anne Salru reported that the two Bloody Marys had joined, devoured Dark Magic creatures, defeated most of the Corporeal Patronuses, and helped destabilize the Ritual Magic Array.
• Vizet deduced that the Isaiah Society had developed the Bloody Marys’ new tactic in response to the team’s efforts, and that the creatures were growing stronger as they devoured.
• Serena Pendragon asked Vizet whether he could strengthen the Ritual Magic Arrays, but Vizet said he needed to test a possible countermeasure against the Bloody Marys.
• Luna offered to help Serena reinforce the Ritual Magic Arrays, while Vizet Apparated to Anne Salru’s location by sensing a Corporeal Patronus.
• Vizet transformed into an Obscurus and raced through the rain after the two fleeing Bloody Marys.

Vizet discovered a way to counter the Bloody Marys and drew the Dark Magic creatures into a container using a new Ritual Magic Array. He reunited with Serena and Luna, confirmed Luna’s enhanced array needed no changes, and prepared to coordinate their next move.

• Vizet tested the Bloody Marys’ reactions and found they avoided him rather than attacking.
• As the Bloody Marys devoured Dark Magic creatures and grew stronger, Vizet’s Magical Energy Field drew many of the creatures away, causing the Bloody Marys to abandon the chase.
• Anne Salru sent Dean and Zambesi after the Bloody Marys while she and the others went to Vizet’s field, where they found his small Ritual Magic Array collecting creatures in a capsule-like container.
• Vizet told Anne Salru that he had found a solution and proposed finding Serena to determine the Medium placements for the strengthened array.
• Vizet Apparated to Serena Pendragon and Luna, who were adjusting the Ritual Magic Array, and confirmed that Luna’s work was perfect and needed no changes.

Vizet explained that the six "Bloody Marys" were acting on delayed orders and proposed using that lag to contain the Dark Magic Creatures. After he demonstrated how to process materials for new containers, Serena Pendragon and the others Apparated away to recruit skilled helpers, while Anne Salru stayed to begin work with Vizet.

• Anne Salru arrived with companions and told Serena Pendragon that Dean and Zambesi were still watching two "Bloody Marys."
• Vizet explained that the "Bloody Marys" followed delayed orders from the Isaiah Society, and Serena Pendragon realized they could use the lag to contain the Dark Magic Creatures first.
• Vizet outlined a plan to make new "Dark Magic Creature Containers" and replace the Ritual Magic Arrays' central "Mediums" at the same time.
• Vizet demonstrated his material-processing technique while Luna summoned the ingredients, and Serena Pendragon and the others recognized how precise the work was.
• Serena Pendragon Apparated to find Omi, the others left to recruit skilled helpers, and Anne Salru stayed to work with Vizet.

Vizet explained how Dementor Strand containers could resist Bloody Mary and serve as new spools to contain parasitic dark magic creatures. After his companions finished making the containers, Serena Pendragon warned that the Isaiah Society was gathering the Bloody Marys in the city, but Ominis Gaunt noted that they had completed the medium first.

• Vizet connected Luna's kite-and-fishing analogy to his plan to use Ritual Magic Arrays and Bloody Mary to separate and capture parasitic dark magic creatures.
• Vizet reasoned that Anne Salru's container had shattered because it used host material, while his Dementor Strand container had withstood Bloody Mary's influence and might block it.
• Serena Pendragon and her companions helped Vizet make spherical containers mixed with Dementor Strand, and Ominis Gaunt handled materials with skill despite being unable to see.
• Serena Pendragon returned and reported that the Isaiah Society was ordering Bloody Marys from other areas to gather in the city within minutes.
• Ominis Gaunt said the group had finished making the medium before the Bloody Marys arrived.

Herpo rallied the Isaiah Society to unleash destruction on Paris, while Morgan le Fay discovered that the Dark Magic creatures had vanished. The chapter ended as Herpo poured the foe-distinguishing potion over the crowd and Morgan left to see the situation for herself.

• Herpo used subtle magic to stir the crowd’s desire for destruction, while Gregory brought him the potion in a Glass Jar.
• Herpo urged the Isaiah Society to unleash Dark Magic on Paris, and the crowd roared their approval.
• Morgan le Fay sensed that the Dark Magic creatures had vanished and questioned Herpo about the Guardians and missing sacrifices.
• Morgan ordered Herpo to mark the crowd with the potion, then left after refusing to put on the crown again.
• Herpo raised his Wand, shattering the jars and sending the potion raining down over the crowd.

Serena Pendragon and her companions replaced the Ritual Magic Arrays’ Mediums and drew the Dark Magic creatures into a container with the Dementor Strand. Though the Bloody Marys stopped moving, Serena’s group stayed on guard, and the chapter ended as the creatures began collapsing and shedding Black Particles.

• Serena Pendragon ordered her companions to replace the Mediums simultaneously while staying alert for the Isaiah Society’s tricks.
• The Ritual Magic Arrays pulled the Dark Magic creatures into the Spherical Container holding the Dementor Strand, creating a towering waterspout that vanished once the creatures were absorbed.
• Serena Pendragon asked Sebastian Sallow about the Bloody Marys, and he reported that all six had stopped moving and did not react to Corporeal Patronuses.
• Vizet said he could not be sure the Isaiah Society’s plan had failed, and Luna pointed out that the rain had not ended.
• Sebastian Sallow reported that the Bloody Marys were collapsing and spraying tiny Black Particles in every direction.

Vizet and Serena Pendragon discovered that the Isaiah Society’s Black Particles threatened Muggles, while the Spherical Containers holding Dark Magic creatures began converging on Vizet. After merging and cracking open, the containers transformed into a platinum crown, leaving its nature unknown.

• Sebastian Sallow warned Serena Pendragon that the fast, intangible Black Particles had passed through him, and Vizet identified them as a collection of negative emotions tied to the Isaiah Society’s next attack.
• Serena Pendragon alerted her companions to prepare the second set of Ritual Magic Arrays and send observers to places where Muggles gathered.
• Vizet tracked a powerful magical fluctuation to the Spherical Container holding a Dark Magic creature, which charged at him before stopping when Luna suggested it wanted to approach him.
• Vizet touched the Spherical Container, and other Spherical Containers flew in and merged with it while Serena Pendragon coordinated her companions.
• The fused Spherical Container cracked open in a burst of white light and became a platinum crown, prompting Serena Pendragon to ask about the transformation.

Vizet studied the crown forged from the fused Spherical Containers and discovered that it could shield him from the torrent of Marks and let him control their flow. With Luna’s encouragement, he placed the crown on his head to test its power.

• Serena Pendragon and her companions examined the newly formed crown, and Luna described it as a spider crouching on a web.
• Vizet used Magic Eye and the Soul Stone Monocle to study the crown, finding a Magic Circuit resembling the Marauder’s Map but far more complex.
• Vizet touched the crown and sensed it blocking the torrent of Marks, with its will-controlled barrier allowing him to release some Marks through a gate.
• Luna held Vizet’s hand as he recovered, and Serena Pendragon checked the situation in the Paris Region.
• Vizet gripped the crown and placed it on his head to test it.

Vizet used the Crown to discover that the Isaiah Society was igniting rage among ordinary people in Paris to activate a second Ritual Magic Array. As Serena Pendragon prepared her forces, rage-fueled violence erupted across the city.

Dumbledore’s forces defeated two Trolls and a Nundu, and a soothing white light appeared as he noted that help had arrived sooner than expected.

• President Jacques became enraged under the influence of magic, attacked Dumbledore and Minister Bonaparte, and was restrained by Dumbledore.
• Minister Bonaparte realized that black specks had affected people throughout the Élysée Palace, where the chaos spread.

• Dumbledore summoned six Blood Oath Knights, which killed the Trolls and pinned down the Nundu.
• Dumbledore stunned the Nundu before it could release venom from its Poison Sac.
• A gentle white light appeared outside, and Dumbledore smiled that it had arrived sooner than he expected.

As the Isaiah Society turned the Paris Region against its Muggles with Black Particles and magical creatures, Vizet accelerated the second Ritual Magic Array to force a direct confrontation. He transferred control of the array to himself and left Serena Pendragon and Luna to prepare traps as he Apparated to the Eiffel Tower.

• Serena Pendragon received reports that Black Particles made Muggles violent and warned her companions to monitor the chaos and intervene when needed.
• Magical creatures, including an Erumpent and a Troll, appeared among the Muggles as the Isaiah Society escalated its attacks across Paris.
• Vizet realized the Isaiah Society wanted Muggles caught in the crossfire and told Serena Pendragon to replace the second Ritual Magic Array's mediums with higher-cost materials.
• Serena Pendragon confirmed the array's light had turned deathly white, and Vizet said he would transfer control of the array to himself.
• Vizet and Luna agreed to help Serena Pendragon set traps, then Vizet Apparated to the top of the Eiffel Tower.

Vizet used the Crown and the ritual arrays across Paris to cast Necromancy through Consensus Magic, turning the Eiffel Tower and rain clouds into a vast tree of light. The radiance spread over Paris, drawing reporters and weather enthusiasts toward it as they murmured, “La Ville lumière!”

• Vizet prepared to unite the ritual arrays across Paris as a single wand and use the Paris Catacombs’ remains against the Isaiah Society’s scheme.
• Vizet realized the Crown helped him perceive and mobilize the arrays, then used it to channel Consensus Magic into his Necromancy.

• Light spread through the tower’s framework and formed a giant luminous tree that lit the clouds and all of Paris.
• Reporters and weather enthusiasts stared at the glowing city and murmured, “La Ville lumière!”

Harry, Hermione, Ron, and their allies subdued Muggles caught in a violent frenzy while the Isaiah Society attacked and unleashed Invisible creatures. As the allies were overwhelmed and struggled to protect the Muggles, a vast Rowan Tree of white light appeared on the Eiffel Tower.

• Hermione, Harry, Ron, Neville, Hanna, Fred, George, Sirius Black, and the Longbottoms subdued frenzied Muggles with spells, Devil's Snare, a club, and Dungbombs.
• Serena Pendragon warned the group that the enemy had arrived with Magical creatures, and the Isaiah Society attacked with lethal spells and Blasting Curses.
